Delicious and easy-to-make Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers, perfect as a healthy appetizer or side dish. Tender zucchini slices are grilled to perfection with a luscious garlic butter glaze and a hint of lemon for a fresh finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds or half-moons

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Finishing Touch

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thick rounds or half-moon shapes to ensure even and consistent cooking on the grill.
  2. Melt the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan set over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and let it simmer for a few minutes until it becomes fragrant, infusing the butter with a rich garlic flavor.
  3. Mix the Zucchini with Seasoning: Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the garlic butter mixture. Toss everything together so the zucchini is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the coated zucchini slices onto pre-soaked wooden skewers to prevent them from burning during grilling.
  5. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Place the zucchini skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the zucchini is tender and has nice char marks.
  6. Add Lemon Juice and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the hot zucchini skewers to add a bright, tangy finish that complements the garlic butter perfectly.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • These skewers can be cooked on a grill pan or in the oven under the broiler if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese after grilling.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and low in calories.
